This is my first post here I apologize for it being long winded.
I currently have Sky FTTC and looking into FTTP now it is available to me.
My setup and proposed setup are shown on the attached image.
My current setup is a copper cable (FTTC) into the porch of the house that connects to a Master socket (green box) in the study at the back of the house (Shown as Red Dashed Line, approx. 15m run of cable) fitted by BT.
This in turn connects to a router which feeds the house with a mix of Wifi, Ethernet cables and switches.
My proposed FTTP setup is as follows.
1) Create a new entry point into the house for the Fibre cable as shown by the RED box at the bottom of the image. This would mean moving the entry point about 2 - 2.5m along the outside wall of the house (marked with a Black Dashed Line)
My main reason for this is there is no electric points anywhere near the current entry point and I don`t really want the equipment on display in the hallway either.
2) I propose the ONT equipment to be sited in a cupboard as shown in the image near the bottom of the image, where there will be a power supply.
3) Then I propose running a Cat 6a cable (Shown Green Dashed Line, Hidden beneath skirting etc) directly to the router which would be situated where the current one lives and can connect to ethernet cables and switches already there.
My question is basically would Openreach facilitate this setup as proposed?
Any replies greatly received
